P&O North Sea Ferries

After just coming back from a visit abroad using North Sea Ferries and doing this particularly crossing 3 or 4 times, I thought I'd let you know all about it! This review is based on the Pride of York ferry out of Hull docks and to Zeebrugge. The ferry itself is fairly tidy, although seems a little outdated in places. The cabin that we had was a four berth and exceptionally tiny as they always are, with a skanky shower room and toilet. The thing that was really frustrating in the rooms was the lack of a power socket, meaning I couldn't straighten my hair, which, as you can imagine was the end of the world (in my eyes!). We also found the rooms very ...  Read the complete review

P&O offer mini crusies to Amsterdam and Bruges from hull. I have been on a few of these cruises and have to say they are excellent. The ships are well fitted and comfortable. There are a number of restaurants and bars to choose from for evening entertainment. There is even a casino onboard. It gets really popular so do get there early. The cabins are small but perfectly fine with bunk beds and a small shower room. You can upgrade but its very expensive. Prices are excellent - especially if you get one of the 2-4-1 offers. At £66 for 2 people its really good value. Meals in the restaurant (£22 for dinner, £10 for breakfasty) do bump ...  Read the complete review

We booked the bargain mini-cruise for myself, my wife and another couple and travelled in October half-term. The "mini cruise" included 2 nights cabin on the ferry and a full day in Amsterdam. We checked in at about 5pm for our evening crossing at 9pm. We left our car in the ferry terminal which is a pay and display carpark charged at £5 per 24 hours, so for this minicruise it cost us £10. Check-in was easy and we were given boarding cards and electronic room keys. We then proceeded to go through security and were on the boat within minutes. Our first impressions of the boat were great, it looked extremely clean and staff were on hand to ...  Read the complete review

Had a great weekend on the Hull to Rotterdam (Amsterdam mini cruise).
Themed night on the Friday with Boney M on stage. Great atmosphere with lots of fancy dress.
Tiring day trip into 'Dam trying to do as much as possible in the time we had.
Chilled out return trip with another night of entertainment (Illusion act called Mist on stage)
Food was excellent, cabin was comfortable and the crew were very helpful and friendly.
Everyone on board looked to be having a great time. Will definitley go again :)

This weekend we were booked on the Amsterdam Mini Cruise from Hull to Rotterdam.
Friday night was a themed Halloween night with many people in fancy dress and a great show by Boney M later in the evening. After a few hours sleep it was time to hop off the ship onto a coach into 'Dam.
Had a great day doing a Canal Cruise and a wander round the city before heading back to the ship for some food, a quick nap and back to the bar to watch some good entertainment including the Illusion show by Mist.
A very tiring weekend as you try to make the most of everything but well worth it.
